(Witness) Bio

HENRY WIPPERMAN, a respected citizen of Washington Township, was born in Germany February 23, 1832, and when an infant immigrated with his parents to the United States, locating in Pennsylvania, and when six years old removed to Cass County, settling in Clinton Township. Here young Henry was reared on a farm; attended the district schools, and at the age of sixteen began working at the carpenter's trade on his own responsibility, and followed this occupation for twenty years. In 1852 he went to California, and there engaged as a mill-wright, in also mining until 1866, in which year he returned to Cass County. He was married, in California, February 14, 1861, to Matilda Ossenbeck, a daughter of Frederick and Maria Ossenbock, natives of Germany. Mrs. Wipperman was born in Logansport, Ind., September 21, 1837. She received a good education in her native county, completing her studies in California, where she had gone to regain her health. Two children were born to this union: Franklin H., born December 15, 1861, and William F., born June 8, 1867, died August 8, 1867. The wife and mother died July 23, 1867, and for his present wife Mr. Wipperman selected Maria C. McGinnis, to whom he was married February 18, 1873. She is a daughter of Jacob and Ann (Pride) Short; was born January 29, 1837, in Sussex County, Del., and immigrated to Pennsylvania with her parents in 1839; thence, in 1847, to Cass County. By hard work and prudential economy Mr. Wipperman has obtained it competence, now owning two fine farms, besides several dwellings in Logansport, and is at present living at his pleasant country home, a short distance south of the city. He is a member of the Democratic party, and served one term as county commissioner. Himself and family are members of the English Lutheran Church.³

Frederick A. Moore was born on 6 October 1825 at Burlington, New Jersey; son of Jacob and Priscilla Moore.^1,2

Marriage*

He married Harriet Bellows, daughter of Anthony Peter Bellows and Lydia Hoover, on 12 November 1857 at Nemaha, Nebraska; by R. J. Whitney, Judge of Nemaha Probate Court, transcribed as "Belawes" in affidavit by county clerk.^1,3,4

Census*

Frederick A. Moore appeared on the census of 30 June 1860 at Nemaha, Nemaha, Nebraska, page 69, occupation carpenter, real estate valued at $75, born NJ, 1 child at home.¹

Milit-Beg*

He began military service on 17 March 1862 at Rockport, Atchison, Missouri, as a private (musician), Company D, 5th Regiment of Cavalry M.S.M.⁴

Death

He died on 17 March 1862 at Rockport, Atchison, Missouri, at age 36; at the time of enlistment as 5' 8" tall, light complextion, blue eyes, sandy hair, occupation carpenter, born Burlington New Jersey, age 37.⁴

Milit-End*

He ended military service on 11 February 1863 at Independence, Jackson, Missouri; contracted bronchitis, later diagnosed as consumption.⁴

Census

He appeared on the census of 7 July 1870 at Rock Port P.O., Templeton Twp., Atchison, Missouri, page 472, occupation laborer, real estate valued at $400, 5 children at home.⁵

Residence*

He lived in 1875 at Scott City, Atchison, Missouri;
Dear Al,
This one stumped me for a while, because the cemetery book does not list a Scott City as any of the small towns that were part of the townships that made up Atchison County. However, the book about the schools, which is generally not my best resource, gave up this gem of information: "Scott City - Early village listed in the 1861 County Assessment list..these villages usually included a store, blacksmith shop, a few residences and sometimes a schoolhouse and a church. Several had post offices." (page 34, The Country Schools of Atchison County 1845-1945 The First 100 Years, 1996).
My newspaper book also came up with this information:
North Star (Scott City), located 2 miles west of Phelps and 8 miles west of Rock Port, on the Missouri River. It has a population of about 200, and has a M.E. Church, a public school house, two flouring mills, a hotel, warehouse, a stockyard, and three general stores. There is a ferry at this place to Brownsville, just opposite in Nebraska. (This information taken from Campbell's Gazateer of Missouri, 1875.)
So, I guess I can confirm that there was a town by the name of Scott City. I went back to the school book after finding the name North Star in the newspaper book and found a picture of the school and a notation that in 1879 Mary and Victoria Moore had perfect attendance. Are they relatives?
Hope this information is helpful.

He died on 24 December 1876 at Atchison, Missouri, at age 51; from consumption contracted during military service; buried at the Nemaha Cemetery (check.)^1,4
